The M.A.R.T.

So I had a 360 with a Toshiba/Samsung drive. As I am not into playing illegal copies, I was just happy having it for the less noise the drive makes. But anyhow, I can imagine there are some people around here that are glad with their T/S drive instead of having a Hitachi for all the backups reading problems.
Anyhow, my 360 got bricked by my girfriend which let the 360 in a special case dropped on the street while we were on a holiday (yep it goes with me ), so she never may hold my baby again you can imagine that. Well, that was not all, it was still working afterwards, buy my father managed to take the electricity out when we were at another holiday in France where I was playing my 360. So I got three red lights, sometimes the 360 worked, sometimes not.
HAD to send it back. So what I did: I made a really nice letter in German stating that if I would get a 360 with a Hitachi drive back, I would sell it immediately and MS would loose a customer for sure. I didn't want a plane trying to take off sitting beside my HDTV when I watch a movie or play a game
Guess what. Got the 360 back today with a T/S drive again. Me happy. For you all with the same problem (when your drive is going to Germany to get repaired) make a nice German letter (or if it's shipped elsewhere in that language ofcourse). I bet it helped. I had to wait for 14 days, but it's worth it :)
If you got a Hitachi drive now, just state you think it's too loud and ask for a T/S drive maybe that works also.
Could be a winning situation when you have to let your baby getting repaired right! For your backups also, as I heard the Hitachi has some problems accepting media
Play fair, play original
And use backups to don't scratch those originals
Keep them buying, that's the only way to let this format win the war against the PSZero and keep the new and good games coming!
Oh yeah, besides writing the letter in German, I have also made the employee @ the heldesk centre make the same comment in their internal system, that it was nescessary to get a T/S dvd model back. I said when I buy a Ferrari with a Ferrari motor in it, which has a nice sound to it, it then has some problems. Leave the car for service, get it back and find a noise coming from the motor and suddenly it only drives 150 km p/h and not the 270 km p/h anymore. Then I see that they gave me the car back with a Fiat motor in it I wouldn't be a customer also. Well, the employee could understand that metaforic story better then the difference in drives which the person had no knowledge of ;)
I thought, I should share this with you
